Hello! I'm Riho :)
I was born and raised in Nagasaki prefecture, but currently I live in the UK on a working holiday visa. Before coming to the UK, I worked on a flower farm for five years, so I know a bit about flowers. I've spent the past four years studying English by myself. In my free time, I like making all kinds of things. In my spare time I do a lot of woodwork, cooking, drawing, and painting.
Unlike most other Japanese people, I haven't travelled very much and corona hasn't helped much. I'm looking for places to visit while I'm in the UK so if you know anywhere that might be of interest, please let me know!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have unofficially taught Japanese for two years, and self-taught English for four years so I know that it's difficult to make progress in a language without some outside help and so I'm here to be your support. By talking to a native speaker, you will be able to improve your Japanese. Many people have told me that I am quite easy to talk to, so I'm also hoping that we can be friends.

I worked intensively for 4 months with Rihoさん from 0 to prepare for a trip in Japan. Needless to say she played a huge part in helping me achieve a functional conversational level in an incredibly short amount of time. She is a positive spirit, encouraging, fun, friendly, patient, and flexible, everything you could want in a 日本語先生!Thank you so much Rihoさん!!!

Appreciate how open to collaboration Riho is when editing essays. She also truly goes out of her way to understand the opinion in the piece and provide corrections / suggestions without losing much of the original voice of the content! Thank you as always.

Riho-sensei has been a huge help on my Japanese learning journey. My reading, speaking, and listening has gotten much better since starting lessons. She incorporates a ton of natural conversation and reading which is great for me. Would 100% recommend her as a tutor!

Another fantastic lesson with Riho! Really appreciate how patient she is with refining sentences and ideas to properly convey the message of an essay. She goes out of her way to provide examples to help elaborate alternate ways of expressing concepts in my writing.
